Board approves plans for Gory Road reconstruction to submit to state for federal-aid scheduling
Summary
City engineering staff presented plans for the Gory Road reconstruction (project No. 2201070), described as a federal-aid partnership administered with the Indiana Department of Transportation and the Kokomo MPO; the board approved submitting plans for scheduling on the state’s bidding calendar.
KOKOMO, Ind. — The Board of Public Works and Safety on Sept. 24 approved plans for the Gory Road reconstruction project (project designation No. 2201070) and authorized staff to submit the plans to the state transportation agency and the Kokomo Metropolitan Planning Organization for assignment to the federal-aid bidding schedule.
John Pike, the city’s director of engineering, presented the plans and described the reconstruction as a federal-aid project to be administered in partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and the Kokomo MPO. Pike recommended the board approve the plans so they could be submitted to INDOT for scheduling on the state’s bidding calendar. The presiding officer requested a motion; a board member moved to approve the project plans, the motion was seconded, and the board voted “Aye. Motion carries.”
On the record, staff did not state a specific bid opening date or the project’s detailed funding split. The board’s approval was procedural: it authorizes submission of the engineering plans to INDOT and the MPO for placement on the federal-aid schedule but does not constitute a contract award or final funding authorization.
The board did not discuss construction timing or right-of-way acquisitions on the record; additional project milestones and funding details were not provided during the meeting.
